>Description:
When building with "./build.sh -N 0 -j 2 -O /vol/scratch/obj/karm-options -U 
-m evbarm -V MKINET6=no release", the build fails with

    In file included from /vol/build/karm-options/gnu/dist/postfix/src/util/cidr_match.c:55:
    /vol/scratch/obj/karm-options/destdir/usr/include/arpa/inet.h:89: error: conflicting types for 'inet_ntop'
    /vol/build/karm-options/gnu/dist/postfix/src/util/sys_defs.h:1240: error: previous declaration of 'inet_ntop' was here

Postfix assumes that only IPv6 systems have inet_ntop(3) and inet_pton(3). 
>How-To-Repeat:
Build with MKINET6=no.
>Fix:
I just removed the offending lines from sys_defs.h. I left EMULATE_IPV4_ADDRINFO in place because I don't know what it does.

 I have reported this problem to postfix-devel@... so that they can  
 put in a permanent fix for everyone.

 Cheers,
 Lloyd

 Discussions with Wietse Venema have been sufficiently fruitless that  
 we can safely assume that the Postfix source will never be fixed. We  
 should stick to applying the patch when importing the source code  
 into the NetBSD tree or whenever is is we patch things like that.

 Cheers,
 Lloyd

We've been maintaining a local fix for over a decade,
and given that upstream won't take the fix, there's
no point keeping this PR open
